The Literary Censor.
1'imes-EemOc:a


There ought certainly to be some ex-
cellent reason for maintaining the CEN
sorship when the press, the authors and
the literary societies are almost unani-
nous in demanding it. What that rea-
son Is can be tolerably well guessed,
French society has had ample chance to
learn since 1870 whittier absolute literary
license tends. Perhaps the Procrustean
bed of the Imperial Censorship may have
been found sometimes too short or too
narrow; but it did net prevent the grand
and beneticent literary expansion eff
fected by the Romantic School. Since
the commencement of the existing Re-
public, Frencl, literature has been in
dulged in the opposite extreme; and the
result has not teen cheering. lndubit-
able decadence has become manifest in
certain branches of literature; espec-
tally poetry and popular song; and the
one only department to which censorship
has constantly applied its pruning knife,
the drama, has been the only one to pre-
serve it's original esthetic vigor. Indeed
Zolaism alone,-a production of the Ii
cense of the epoch,-wOuld have been
enough 10 prove the need of a Censor
ship. AS a general rule, lola has been
allowed to write almost as he pleased.
But fifteen months ago, the Censor con-
demned dramatization of his very best
wOrk, -GeFmindI;-there was no him
drance offered 70 the publication Of the
book; but there were excellent reasons
for the suppression of the drama. The
book could not reach class whom the
theater could and would certainly have
excited 10y the performance of such a
play. About that very time there were
strikes, riots, incendiarisms, murders,
and fights between ,nOb5 and sOldIerv in
the mining districts of France and Bel
gium;-there were Socialistic troubles
everywhere; and the very existence of
society was threatened.
What would have been the effect of
drama in which mining corporations
were represented in the worst possible
colors, a play in which the heroic char
acter Is a Nlhilist engineer who devas-
tates his employers property and de
5troys life-a play in which rioters glut
their hatred by massacre and mutIla~
ton? The statement BY one of lola
warmest defenders, that the censorship
permits indecent songs to- be sung in con-
cert halls, while it occasionally sup
presses works of genius, is no argument
against the necessity of the censure; il
only tends to prove that still severer
and more extended censorship is desira-
BILE. That the censorship has been dis
gracefully lax I'm some matters, lncom-
prehensibIy stupid i'm some instances, alb
5urdly pre- JUDGED in one or two cases,
may be ali very true. Indeed there
have been contradictions between its
theories and Its practices which almost
Justify Zolas qualification of tia
Gues.-as at present conducted. But
the errors or weaknesses committed or
manifested in maintaining a system or
carrying out principle, do not affect
the value of the system or the integrity
of the principle itself.

Mr.. Randall's kind of humbug has a
very taking quality. He has defeated
all efforts of his party in Congress to
fulfill the convention pledges of tariff re-
form and tax reduction. Bat he never
theless wants to- get the reputation of a
reformer and shoulder this responsibility
of defeat on somebody else. So he asked
Speaker Carlisle for recognition to bring
IN bill repeating the tax on tobacco.
He knew that, after his success in
thwaIting Nv. Carlisle's plans time and
time again, Mr.. Carlisle would not be apt
to accord him any favors. In fact such
"A favor on Carlisle's part was Just what
Randall did not want. He would not
have asked it had he for a moment sup
posed that Carlisle would grant it and
thus open the question of tariff revision
again. But having been denied the priv
ilege by the Speaker. he writes a letter
full of regret that he is denied the op-
portunity of Introducing a measure
which would save To the oppressed tax
payers of this country an annual reduc-
ton of taxation to the extent of $2S 600,
600" Randall is a very smart man.

far as the investigation by the committee
is concerned.
Next we must consider what shall be
done with the lands covered by the con-
tract betty the State and the COM
pany. The lands not yet in the hands OF
a third party can be voided by proof Of
fraud, and would then be held in trust
under the contract, or passed over to
railroads under grants already made and
earned. But it would doubtless be to the
advantage of both the State and COM
pany could some arrangement be made
satisfactory to both. The matter should
be so dealt lrith that our ddrdntdges mn
der the contract be secured and this
can not be done if the company is crip-
pied. We will injure ourselves If we
break do 4n the credit of the company,
because it is of prime importance to US
that the work be continued-at the same
time the company must give satisfac-
tory guarantees for the completion of
the contract within a reasonable time.
The Legislature should insist, also, that
the proceeds of the sale of the lands I'M
Justly obtained be devoted to the per
Torrance of the contract. If these ends
can be gained, we, like the commission
ers, deprecate an appeal to the courts or
the destruction of the company.

Why Zach Chandler Was Not Presented

Why Zach Chandler Was Not Presented.
When Zach Chandler AMI his wife and
daughter Were i'll England during Mr. Mot
ley's career minister he asked 10 be pre-
sented at court. and although he was then
senator of the United States and a personal
friend of Gen. Grant, Minister Motley re-
fused to do it. His refusal was grounded
on what he held should be the personal re-
finement and culture of the Americans
selected for the high honor of bowling before
the queen. Zach Chambers grammar was
uneven, his speech marked by the many
idioms of self made westerners, and his man
ners had not the grace and polish that Mr.
Motley considered Indispensable. This re-
fusal to present at court, being all in the same
political party, it Were, did not attain
the publicity of the Phelps Rice incident OF
the last summer, but it doubtless led to the
downfall of Mr.. Motley quite as much as
anything that Gen. Badeau has related in
his recent chapters on the historical diplomat
